Seriously funnier than the Bible. I’m definitely going to read it now. YOU. Are. Awesome. We all know how much it killed you to do this, and you are SO amazing (and I’m not being funny here). Thank you for the hope you bring to all of us misfits. We love you!

I was about to comment on the awesomeness of this video. But then I got distracted by the owl lantern behing Neil Gaiman, and am now trying to figure out his connection to Bryn Mawr. Awesomeness magnified to mind-blowing proportions.

REALLY, REALLY cannot wait a single moment longer for your book! I pre-ordered it last year and trying sooooo hard to wait until April 17th (when Amazon swears on the lives of small furry kittens that it will be here)…I may or may not be contemplating taking sick leave I don’t have to wait on my own porch for the package to get here.

OMG, I love it! Wil Wheaton is GOLD. I wish there was more Jeri Ryan, though. More Jeri makes everything better. Now I’m going to watch it seven or eight more times till I can memorize the whole thing. (Seven of nine times??)

This makes me so furiously happy I can’t see straight. When are you coming to Minnesota? If you come to Minnesota, I will take you grocery shopping. Because we have some pretty good grocery stores here, ya know.

I.LOVE.YOU. That is all. (Except, I wouldn’t stand too close to you if I ever actually met you, you know, ‘cuz of the whole being struck down by lightning by a God who didn’t think that was funny AT ALL.) But, hey, there’s always trade-offs.

Hi, I’m Jenny Lawson. And I just wanted to say that I am an inspiring woman who has come so far, despite having an incredibly difficult, and yet hilarious, life. I am beyond amazing, so amazing that all of my heroes agreed to star in a book trailer for me.

Can.Not.WAIT to receive my digital copy! And if you were including Nashville on the book tour (hint, hint) I’d be happy to buy a 2nd copy to get signed! Drat! I may just have to come stalk ya somewhere… 🙂

Hi, I’m Jenny Lawson. And I just wanted to say that I am an inspiring woman who has come so far, despite having an incredibly difficult, and yet hilarious, life. I am beyond amazing, so amazing that all of my heroes agreed to star in a book trailer for me.

So go me. I’m fucking awesome.

P.S. I also forgive commenters who, while trying to post something funny, post it on the wrong blog entry. And then post another comment asking me to delete the previous one. And then post it on the right entry, but have a typo in my name. And then get it right, fucking finally.

Hi,
The April 2012 issue of Marie Claire magazine has a book review of “Let’s Pretend This Never Happened ” on page 187. That’s April , Marie Claire, page 187…if you just want to hunt down the review and not buy the magazine !
There is a small colored photo of the cover too. I was thrilled to see it.

So, I loved this. Laughing so hard I was crying. Especially at Wil. This video was so funny, I want to share it on FB to all my friends, but at the same time, I’m so embarrassed because there are people from my church on my fb….OMG, too funny. ? you Jenny!

OMFG!!! ROTFLMAO!!!! That was amazing…. uhhhh not more amazing than an enchilada… but seriously better than the bible…. Thats how it ranks…. Enchiladas… The trailer for “lets pretend this never happened”…Nachos… Tacos (My moral compass is forcing me to be honest here)…. The Bible… no no wait… Colicky baby then the bible! whew!

I am Holly Waterfall and I think that was great! I think we should all send feathers to Wil Wheaton now. Jenny, for all the math lovers out there you could go on Big Bang and calculate the actual funniness of your book with Sheldon. You could say something like, “It is 2/3 less serious than the Bible, 1 million times funnier than toothpaste Oreos, and not at all as scary as birds”. Then Sheldon could be all seriously writing down coefficients of funny and birds on his whiteboard. Leonard could come in and ask what was going on and of course not understand when you both explained it. After that, the girls could come in and ask if you wanted to go shopping for taxidermied animals and you would of course say yes. Sheldon could ask to come along and Leonard would just shake his head at all of you. I think Victor and Leonard could be good friends.

Incredible! I have tears in my eyes because of the amazing people in this world. The people who contributed are some of my most favorite people. I’m so glad to see them support you in this. Can’t wait to get my copy. Kisses!

In my fantasies, Wil and Jenny come to my house for dinner, but I wear a diaper because, let’s face it, I’ve had three babies and my nether regions just could never hold up to the kind of pressure that that much laughter would produce.

But I’ll happily settle for this video and the upcoming book.

Unless Wil and Jenny come to Albuquerque for some reason, in which case they should totally call me. I’ll make waffles.

That is so fucking magical it made me squee like a mother fucking cheerleader! Awesome sauce Jenny. Now I’m even more pissed that the book isn’t out in England for MONTHS. I pre-ordered it but it’ll be summer before I get to read it. So no spoilers before then. Neil AND Wil…I’d be jealous except the idea of them knowing who I am brings me out in a cold sweat.

Wow! That was several different kinds of win all at once. I kind of hate you a little for getting to hang out with Wil Wheaton. But not enough to cancel my order for your book. I was kind of on the fence about it, but now that I know it is funnier than the Bible, I’m totally stoked.

Lucky!!!!
I can’t think of anything intelligent to say.
Okay: Congratulations,
because you wrote a book
and it’s published
and because
Amanda and Neil appeared in a video, for you, as you…
LUCKY!!!
(Resisting urge to beg you to mention my seven year old’s lemonade stand… you’re famous, you have influence, you could bring the thirsty masses to her sale. Okay. Sorry about that.)

A conspiracy going back over two millennium has recently been uncovered. Documents written in Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek and Coptic show a pattern among Early Christian Bishop and Rabbinical councils to independently redact humous sections of the what is known as the New and Old Testaments. The documents were discovered after and extensive search of Vatican, Orthodox, Coptic and early Synagogues records. It was believed by the early church authorities that a more serious tone was required and that “the funny stuff” was a distraction. One early Bishop’s letter complains that urine odor after the preaching of these passages was just overwhelming the following week.

Preliminary reviews of these documents by Biblical scholars state that the humor is wide-ranging and translates remarkable well, even the ancient puns. “It is as if it were divinely inspired!” one translator was overheard saying. Another scholar confidentially said she understood why so much had been hidden. There are these stories of Jesus as a practical joker. He appears to be particularly fond of raising-the-dead during a funeral service and seeing the histrionic reactions of the relatives.

It has been agreed on that all work shall remain unpublished until the full codex can be revealed. Even so the sniping has already begun. One Vatican Bishop has been reported to say that “the Jews has been secretly using this material for centuries and that accounts for the phenomenal success rate as comedians.” The only item that the scholars agree on is that ones this material is published, the Bible will be the funniest book ever!

If anyone needs me, I’ll be camped at A Real Bookstore until Jenny gets here. I’ll have my laptop so I can watch this book trailer over and over. They have an awesome cafe there, so I’ll be fine for food/beverages. I hope they won’t mind my tent. Do you suppose I can get them to install a shower? Maybe a bathtub… I like to read in the tub so a bathtub would be an excellent dual purpose investment for the bookstore…

Only 25 days, 6 hours, 45 minutes and 10 seconds (if, you know, I was counting…)

I’ve already placed my pre-order…for two copies. My last Bloggess book purchase was The Beauty of Different which I loved, loaned out…and didn’t get back for 6 bloody months. So now? I buy two. One to cuddle with and one to share.

Watched this the first time through at work, so I had to have the sound turned off. Used the Closed Caption function on YouTube to try to follow along. After Neil Gaiman apparently said “mining genitals” it all became very surreal…you should try it!

Our Bloggess, who art in Texas, Awesome be thy name!
Thy book is done….nice one, Lawson! Were the bookplates, too, collated by Wheaton?
Cannot wait for the day your book is sent…
Please forgive us our restlessness, as we forgive those who are clueless and don’t get this.
And let us not fret o’er Saint Fillion
For twine is his kryptonite and his ego is legendary.
Broderick gets it. Nate doesn’t.
Amen.

When you said funnier than the Bible, I wasn’t really that amused. But when you followed it with “Swear to God”, I friggin’ died. Seriously. I’m a dead girl typing right now. (Please don’t stuff me like Juanita. Thank you)…

If you turn on the YouTube CC and have it transcribe the audio, you get some interesting word-order-things. It’s like it’s taking the English, translating it into Japanese, then Russian, then Kiswahili, then Spanish, then Chinese, and then back into English. It sort of almost makes sense. Sometimes. Here’s a transcript of what it squirted out at me (YMMV) — amazingly, it actually got a couple of them right:

I’m currently driving through Nebraska on my way to South Dakota from Colorado. Well, I’M not driving. The in-laws are. I’m entertaining the toddler. The Internet is a total crap shoot and I had to watch the trailer in 3-10 second intervals. Totally. Worth. It.

I love you. I love the people in your video (and the gorilla). I am full of love. Thanks for making a video that could make me so over the top happy!

And seriously, I’m sooooo ready for my preordered copy to be delivered!!!

I suddenly now have a huge crush on Wil Wheaton. I can’t wait for my book to come. Not only because I already know it’ll be funnier than the Bible, but because Wil Wheaton is hocking it on your behalf. And collating blank sheets of paper. At the same time. And all of those things are awesome.

My birthday is coming up. I KNOW my friend is ordering me a copy of the book for the big day, but I’d really like your autograph. Or to have dinner and drinks with you. You’re my hero, and I have all my hero’s autographs or I have dinner and drinks with them. It’s a known fact. You’d like to make my dreams come true, too, I just know it.

I want to be BFFs with everybody in your trailer. I want them to come life in my house and we can hangout, drink wine, and make fun of the horrible people on Survivor this season because we would be BFFs and that would be awesome.

The awesomeness of that epic video has rubbed off on all involved, including the viewers. I could feel myself become a good 12% more awesome just through watching. (I’m going to watch it again to see if I can make myself a quarter more awesome–as the second watching will give me at least another percentage in addition to the watching awesomeness percentage).

Shit, you are so funny, Jenny. Having social anxiety myself I always admire those who can make fun of any mental disorder. That’s half the battle, right? If you can own something, it has less power over you.
P.S. Please leave Victor for me.

I got a copy of your book for my Kindle and for you to autograph when you make your way to Seattle on your book tour and I am hardly bothered by the fact that I may be going to hell because I find you funny as hell.

OK girlie. I’ve read the bible, and it’s freakin’ hilarious! If your book is funnier, it just might qualify as a secret weapon, a la Monte Python. I’m going to make sure that my will is up to date before I even open your book!

I now have an incredible desire to replace all the bibles in the rooms at the hotel where I work with copies of your book! It would amuse the holy hell out of me and push that sucker up on the best seller list! WIN-WIN!

Jenny et al, the trailer was A-mazing! I’m nearly finished with my advance copy of the book and I’m trying to read the last of it slowly, because then it’ll be over and I’ll be really sad. Since you said you were saving stories for book two, may I inquire as to when that second volume will appear? Too soon?

Completely verklempt at the awesome that video contained. I may never recover. Or at least not until I have that book in my grubby hands. Which are really grubby. Wow, I better do something about that tout de suite.

Seriously, how cool would it be if they replaced all of the bibles in churches with copies of your book??
And if they replaced all of the wine with Vodka?
And all of the pictures of the big VMary showed her wearing a fluffy red ball gown?
And all the statues of baby Jesus were made of chocolate…
OMG….
Seriously, I can’t wait until your book arrives to my house. A giant congrats to you🙂

So you realize you are now more famous, tolerated and well liked than John Lennon right? Because when he made a “religious reference” he got crucified. So congrats to Jenny Lawson. The bitch can get away with anything lol
RESPECT yo

This video is nothing short of hilarious. Seriously funny stuff. Can’t wait for your book!

I will admit, though, I am puzzled by all of this pearl-clutching about the Bible joke. Are these people losing their shit every time South Park airs an episode? Maybe they are and I’m just not paying attention. Are they freaking out about Felicia Day being held at knife point? Maybe they’re doing that, too, and I just haven’t seen it. But I would assume that anyone who enjoys reading your blog would be supportive of your irreverent, bombastic sort of humor. Actually, I would assume that anyone who enjoys your blog would be sufficiently fluent in sarcasm, but, once again, maybe I’m missing all of it. Maybe this is a super-serious website. Maybe it’s me who’s missing the point. Maybe I *should* go steal a bible. And then I can steal a research monkey. And then I’ll get a squirrel cover for my smartphone. OH MY GOD I SHOULD START LIVING MY LIFE LITERALLY ACCORDING TO THE BLOGGESS AND THEN WRITE MY OWN WEBSITE ABOUT IT.

You’re like a major celebrity, Jenny! Look at all the endorsements you got in that video. Well, except for the one where the woman was being held at knife point. The only thing that would make it better is if you could have gotten Matthew Broderick to say “I’m Jenny Lawson” and his wife SJP was in the background…

this is why when i get to work, thebloggess is the first thing I pull up on my computer. also why I created a twitter account, so I could follow you, and not miss out on any of the funny. because I left out reading the excerpts that made it to the blog. Please keep it coming, my workday depends on you… (ps, don’t tell my boss!)

Being from Canada, I’ve been delaying the pre-order in hopes that there might be some amazingly magical chance of getting a bookplate. But after finding out that this is the book for intellectual misfits, which of course I also am, I now realize that I just can’t take the risk of missing out. I have a niggling feeling that every. single. copy. will be completely sold out, and I’ll be left sad. And crying. And dying a little on the inside. But most importantly…I won’t be laughing. And who wants to live in a world without laughter? Not I, Jenny Lawson. Not I.

You make my life better. EVERY DAMN DAY. I’m so excited for your book….AND I hope that your book trailer (which is awesome beyond description) makes you realize a little more every day just how incredible you are. Even if you forget, we’re all here to remind you.

Hey!
I don’t know if you’re book is out out yet, but I got it recently at a bookstore I work at, where we get like quasi edited books from publishers to see what we might want to by. Normally the bin is pretty dismal (think pseudo twilight/ gossip girl adult fiction), and then I saw, one very handsomely dressed mouse looking up at me from the bottom. I was like SWEET BABY JESUS. I’ve read your blog forever, and yes, to be corny I really love when you talk about stuff that I feel weird about…issues that I have trouble talking to my…more normal friends with. But even better than that you make me laugh so hard, I pee. Yes. Literally. Pee. So of course I read it in a day, and I am obsessed. Thankyouthankyouthankyou for putting something like this into the world. I’m sorry you had to wear a deer jacket. That part seemed especially bad. I hope you are aware of how many people you’ve touched. Like in an emotional way. Not a creepy way.

You are one of my heroes, Jenny. If anxiety slams a door in my face, I think of you and set the F****R on FIRE.
Not actual fire, cause I’d get tired of going to LOWE’S and having to deal with the people whispering “Jeez, the Door Girl again?!?”
And my insurance would be, like, WAY high and then I couldn’t afford your book.
But, you know, Anxiety-burning-fire. If that existed. Which… hmm.
What was my point?
I think you’re brave and door-kicking-in-awesome and the trailer makes my happy and hopeful.
OK. I’m gonna go play with my Juanita print-out puppet now.

That is some stellar line-up you got for this, Jenny, a geek-fest delight. If I didn’t already love Will Wheaton, I sure do double now. Your next video… you licking these folks! Please? Pretty please?

I’ll be there at your New York signing (unless the new babysitter pulls a no-show like the old one did last week). So know there will be at least one (and likely many more) familiar face in the audience. And happy to slip you some Vodka in a water bottle, if you should so need.

I just wrote a whole comment about the Bible and it spiraled into how the Hangover 2 had too many penises and then I erased it because it seemed too wordy and slightly inappropriate to mention the Bible and penises in the same comment but now I realize I just did it again but instead I managed to put it in one run-on sentence.

I am so jealous that you got to meet all those people geeks think are the most famous people in the world. My birthday is this week, I pre-ordered your book and told my husband that is what he is getting me for my birthday. He thought it was awesome that he didn’t have to go shopping, then I reminded him the kids might want to get me something. He swore. And I think I’m gonna do a photo cake with Juanita on it for my cake. I’ll be the only one who gets it but that’s ok. I will make them read your book when I have finished it and can lend them my copy. I would make them buy it, but they are odd ducks.

Once I stopped laughing I realized that with a few more guest stars you could represent ALL of the Star Trek series. I’d be willing to bet you could convince George Takai to rep TOS. The only downside to this plan is that the awesome of your book would combine with the trekkie awesome by association and the resultant multiplication of the already immeasurable amount of awesome already in your book would probably create some sort of black hole, universe collapsing spacial anomaly paradoxical wibly wobly timey wimey STUFF.

Hi. I’m Jenny Lawson. I wrote this comment. It’s the best comment ever! It’s definitely not a regurgitated imitation of the most fantastic video ever. No. It’s not. Okay, it is.
Shut up.
I can’t believe you got to DO this! You lucky shit, you! Talent like yours DOESN’T go unnoticed, don’t you see? Amazing.

Hi…my name isn’t Jenny Lawson. And that makes me a little sad. Because I would pay good money (like $1.42…no really…cash!) to hang out with those people in your trailer. Or is that spelled trailor? Anyhow, CASH MONEY. Awesomesauce. Loved that.

Holy crap dude, you are like, a GOD. I mean, maybe because I haven’t been paying attention, or perhaps because I’m on the other side of the earth so my brain is in my toes but I had NO idea this was going to be as huge as it clearly is going to be. If I ever get to meet you I may have to lick you, just to see if you’re real.

It’s so incredible to see these folks that support you and your blog come out to support your book. It was really brilliant. I pre-ordered the book, and can’t wait to read it—I’m sure it’s funnier/better than the Bible!

Awesomeness!!!! Neil Gaiman, Felicia Day? Mary Lynn, Jeri, a gorilla AND Will Wheaton? I mean, you have ALL my favorites in one hilarious package! You and Will need to have your own show or something…you’re absolutely hysterical together! Can’t’ wait for my book to get here!!!!

“That makes a certain amount of twisted sense.” – I love Wil Wheaton. This promo for your book was better than a bullriding Clint Eastwood shaking me up a martini while Ninjas do cool Ninja stuff in the background decimating the entire cast of Cirque Du Soleil (don’t tell me I’m the only person who would pay to see that.)

“It’s funnier than the Bible. Swear to God.”😄 The interaction between you and Wil, which is absolutely priceless. I swear this is video heralds the approach of something of biblical proportions. Or…Harry Potter proportions (ergo, something of Lawson proportions). It’s an absolute nerdfest contained in 3.5 minutes.

Jenny Lawson, you are so fucking funny I have no idea where you’ve been all my life. Seriously. A friend just “introduced” me to you like, 4 months ago or something, and my life has never been the same. I love you. And I love your honesty, and now I totally LOVE Wil Wheaton. He’s awesome. And you’re awesome. And I’m so glad you’re in the blogosphere.

I bet if you donated this to my library, it would get stolen right away. Which around here either means it is better than the Bible and/or contains exam materials for the military or discusses ghost, witches or the Loch Ness Monster. If it were only as good as the Bible, people would just write notes in it, white things out, and draw lines to save your soul. Which would be good too.

Also, Felicia Day rocks, and Wil Wheaton is obviously a superior human being in all ways.

I don’t know how you didn’t spend 2 days laughing your ass off while Wheaton was collating his blank paper. Seriously, I admire you for writing your life story, dealing with your depression, making Victor nuts, being shitsnacks funny on your blog, but not falling off the chair laughing at Wil, that’s a fucking accomplishment of epic proportion. Cheers lady – you earned it!

SOOO excited!! Can’t wait for my book to come in! I’ve preordered and will have it for my beach stay in Destin, FL. Everybody will be wondering who is the crazy/insane lady on the beach laughing her head off!

I have to say that this film was absolutely breathtaking. From the casting, to the directing and even the film score. I think the person holding knife should be up for best supporting actor, and Victor’s portrayal of Jesus and his brave (if not risky) defamation of the Bible? Stunning! Neil Gaiman should win as best performance in a female lead for his moving performance as Jenny Lawson. Bravo! (Standing O)

The coolest, most awesomest trailer EVER! Sat here watching it with the biggest smile on my face and utter satisfaction as if I remotely had anything to do with how perfectly splendid it is and you are. Fell off my chair when Jeri said she was seven of nine Jennys. #FuriouslyHappy all around! Yay Jenny!

Holy moo-fo-ing cow! I saw this on Wheaton’s tumblr first and was all like, “woah, wait, what?!?!” and then I watched it and threw up because the awesomeness going in through my eyes was overwhelming like a fifty-pound chocolate cherry-cordial cheesecake with sprinkles and I couldn’t contain it so it had to come back out somehow and how do you even LIVE with yourself?!?! Do you have to ask your reflection for an autograph every time you pass a mirror? Do you just shake with amazingness all the time like a little chihuahua (they don’t shake because they’re awesome, though, they shake because they’re neurotic)
I can’t even begin to describe how overwhelmingly impressed I am at this video and how amazing you are, in general.

I have already preordered both the book and the audio book. Because I have no self control. My checking account will probably be overdrawn when they both hit but whatever. IT’S THE BLOGGESS’S BOOK! AND DID I PUT TOO MANY Ss THERE? ALSO HOW DO YOU PLURALIZE S?

This is the awesomest trailor EVER… and you’re coming to my ‘hood in a week-ish, I am so hoping to be there to see you bring the awesome in person (provided my baby doesnt go into mega-barfing territory again, though that’s always a real worry in these parts)

Jenny,
Are you coming to Seattle? I have four copies of your book pre-ordered. I know four copies may not warrant a stop in Seattle, but I am sure more of us in the Pacific Northwest have purchased your hilarious book.

All I can say is that I f*&king love you after watching that video… in a totally non-weird way. Although, it’s is almost a given that it is weird since I’ve never meet you… but that’s how I roll… or physiologically process life. I’m recommitting to loving Will Wheaton. Even if, I haven’t actually meet him either or even seen him for that matter before your blog. I know would have loved him, too, if I had meet him… you know, before the last couple of months or ever. Anyone who will collate paper for you is someone I have to dig. Oh, I love Matthew Broderick. I didn’t think he could be any cooler than in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off and then the egg thing, whoa. The skating guy rocks, too. I’m totally into tongs and ice cream sandwiches. I do occasionally like ovens, but not often much to my family’s dismay. I’m seriously in to roasters and kites.

O for freaking Oarsome!* I have a cracked rib, and every laugh is agony… but I can’t stop watching!!!
I honestly think you might kill me.
I don’t remember ever having seen a book trailer before. Don’t think I’ll forget this one in a hurry though.🙂
Can’t wait for your book to wing its merry way over to NZ for me.

*This would be funny if you a. lived in NZ, b. knew who David Tua was, and c. saw him make an arse of himself on ‘Celebrity Wheel of Fortune’ one time.

Is it too much to hope that while you were hanging with Wil Wheaton you also shot an episode of Table Top? Because I think I would explode with geek bliss if such a thing were to happen. So if not, maybe it’s for the best. Explosions are messy.

Loved it…love you…can’t wait for my copy to arrive and Shit girl you are way funnier than anyone in the Bible and that’s saying a lot…do you know there was a guy who was apparently high took travel advice from a burning bush! That’s funny but you are funnier!

Hi Jenny! True story, I was on a plane this past weekend heading to Austin, Texas (long story involving bats and UT and a rather large cow mascot) and brought a pre-release copy of your book along (one of my dear friends scarfed it from a local bookstore for me). I was listening to tunes, headset in place, when I noticed my husband staring at me and shaking his head, very Victor-like, I suspect. Rumor has it, I was SNORTING with laughter, only I thought I was quietly chuckling (headphones). A casual glance around over my shoulder confirmed. Out of consideration for my husband (and the U.S. marshall’s radar), I decided to take a nap. Looking back, I should have just read out loud, then everyone (except for the U.S. marshall perhaps) would have understood completely! Hilarious and wonderful. I absolutely love your book! C

Wil Wheaton + Neil Gaiman + Alicia Day + Amanda Palmer
I think this video is breaking some sort of cosmic law and some planets will be colliding soon.
Really, Jenny, only you could have pulled this off.

OMG! You just made the fact that I have to sit through a Quality Enhancement Plan meeting for two and a half hours this afternoon so much more bearable!!! One of my co-workers and I won’t be able to look at each other for fear of giggling through what I’m sure is going to be a snooze fest! I’m only disappointed that I can’t go see you on your book tour.😦 I need to know how to get my hands on a signed copy of this book!!!

This trailer is perfection! Seriously, the Penguin trailer was kind of lackluster, but this one is brimming with luster. So, so lustrous. (Plus, I can’t say how delighted I am that you and Wil, Jeri, Neil & Amanda, and Felicia — people that I’ve adored separately for years — are coming together like this! Add Neil DeGrasse Tyson to your crew and I might keel right over with happiness.) I’m looking forward to my pre-ordered copy and crossing my fingers that you add a Denver/Boulder area signing stop.

I laughed so hard I cried. Then, had to pause the video to finish laugh-crying. Started again, laughcried, paused again. Completely lost it during Wil Wheaton’s section, because he was OH MY GOD COLLATING PAPER. Then had to watch it all again to see it as a whole.

Ok…I sucked it up, grew a pair, and nominated you for the Sunshine award.

Really, it’s Claire’s fault, because she listed you, too, and I was too chicken, because, you know, you’re like this GINORMOUS blogger with a whole line of big metal chicken products, and little ol’ me? I’ve only been doing this for a few months, but Claire & I both attended the party in your bathroom, so what the hell, right?

On a side note … tonight my husband was watching something on his computer and I came in to see what he was doing. It was some new show were you actually sit and watch people play board games. Yes, my husband is that big of a geek, and I love him. BUT … it was Wil Wheaton!!! And hubby says “do you know who this is?” and I said “yeah, it’s Wil Wheaton” and hubby says “WOW, how’d you know? I’m really impressed” and I giggled and said “because of the bloggess” 🙂

Holy Fucking Shit Tacos! THAT’S NEIL GAIMAN! Great! Nothing I accomplish in my life will EVER be able to compete with THAT! I should just go back to bed now before I do something really stupid… like eating that huge tube of cookie dough or watching steel magnolias…after I finish watching the NEIL video… (I only got to the part where Neil says he is you before I was Like Holy fucking shit tacos I need to post a comment!)… guess now that my life has been proved irrelevant I might as well finish watching… Where the hell’s the Vodka? (and the cookie dough)

Honestly Jenny – I don’t know you, but I read every post and I am so proud of you. I also have major depression and a few other quirks and I think it is absolutely amazing that you do what you do. You should be super proud of you too. BTW, kick ass with Amanda Fucking Palmer and Neil Gaiman!

oh my god i love it! is your book going to be available on Kindle? It’s exactly the type of thing I want to read on my morning metro commute. laughing hysterically to yourself ALWAYS gets you a row of seats all to yourself, no matter how crowded the train is.

My favorite part is Jeri’s reference to her Star Trek character. (I forgive her her astounding beauty and figure because the girl is hilarious). And watching Wil makes me think of his arc on The Big Bang Theory, which is a nice warm fuzzy.

If I weren’t already anxious to buy your book, this video would do it!!!! Not sure what that says about me.

I’m practically speechless at the awesomeness of that video. I loved hearing your voice! Will gets +A Million for being such a great sport about the whole thing, and you get +A Million for your “my book is funnier than the Bible AND Harry Potter”, and another +A Million for the use of “ipso facto” in that sentence.

i work the over night shift at a truckstop. the reason i am telling you this is because while i was watching the video & laughing at appropriate times… people started to stare… and point… and give me that look…. you know the one? yeah well i used this to my advantage and proceeded to show them the video… 3 of them pulled out their phones and began ordering the book. the others continued to give me “that look”… sad really that they cannot accept the brilliance that everyone else sees. i wonder if its ‘those’ people who will be eaten by zombies first?? counting down the days until i open my nook and see ‘read now’ instead of ‘preordered’ on the cover of your book….

I have no idea why you would have that social anxiety problem. You are just the cutest thing ever! I’ll bet everyone wants to pinch your cheeks. Oh wait, I think I’m starting to understand why you hide in bathrooms now… your cheeks would totally get sore if everyone was pinching them all the time. I think I would freak too if everyone thought I was that awesome.

Love the video. I screeched (and I’m not a screecher) at Collating Wil!
I agree that all these people are awesome, but more awesome than ENCHILADAS?!? That may be going too far!
More awesome than chile con queso – definitely!
(can’t wait for my copy of the book to arrive)

I saw your book in the bookstore today! I work there and saw it in the back, we can’t put it out until 4/17. Also found out we got an ARC and no one told me! I fully intend to start reading it asap. Very much enjoy your site, best of luck and all!

My heart is broken!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just went to check and see if my copy of your book ever shipped, and apparently the transaction was cancelled because our credit card had expired. *FACE PALM* What kills me, is that I preordered it like, the DAY you announced it! And I had even registered to receive a signed book plate too. 😦😦😦

Squee!!!! Never mind, I just updated and it DID go through… I hope I get that book plate after all! 🙂

And even if I don’t, I’m still thrilled that I WILL be getting my book the day it comes out. Whew. Crisis averted…

Side note: I just want to send a thank you out to all the amazing husbands, partners, BFF’s etc. that save us every day from the Lying Bastard. He really got to me last night. I was in a puddle of tears on the bed and my husband finally took charge, called my doctor and get new meds ordered ASAP – then he drove to the 24 hour pharmacy 30 minutes away just get them picked up immediately. I’ve been trying to wean (under doc supervision) so we can conceive another baby, but it’s not going to happen this year. My mental health (as it turns out) is more important to my husband than another baby. God love that man.

Based upon your sheer bravery in appearing in the video (although, I imagine having Wil there made it easier), I pre-ordered your book as soon as the video ended. I don’t ever do that. Not ever. I suppose, though, that the bravery part was only the impetus, as I’m pretty sure this will be the best read since… Well… Since Ever.
